Hello and welcome to my page.... I am a guy on the internet making a website. I go by Heaven online. I work as a full-time illustrator, producing commissions and premade designs. I'm also the artist and co-creator of the community game I run with my best friend, the Scatterstar Isles ARPG. I'm a big fan of all sorts of art, but especially net art, and I aspire to make the kind of work that younger me was obsessed with online.

I've lived in a few different countries, but I'm from the southeast USA and currently live in the northeast, where I constantly complain about the non-tropical weather and am currently engaged to a real life worm. Aside from art and questionable-quality CSS, I love a wide and greatly mismatched variety of things.

Like many personal website-havers, I have a cornucopia of plans and possibilites for HEAVENDELUXE DOT COM that probably won't all come to fruition. But overall I'm happy to have a space to express myself that isn't the strict n' static confines of social media. I'm sure I'll reshape it many times over, but that's a problem for future me.

If you use my resources or just enjoy something you find here, please link back to this site with one of the buttons below, so that others may find it and enjoy it as well!

Sincerely yours,

HEAVEN

✖ Touchscreens: I accept that they're fine on a phone, but otherwise I like knowing a button by feel instead of having to look. I especially hate them in cars; they're distracting (and dangerous), and the UI is always atrocious.
✖ Dairy: I am very much lactose intolerant. However... I can make exceptions....
✖ Smart appliances: Why does my technology have to report my every move? The only smart appliance we have is a television, and that's only bc we couldn't find a normal one.
✖ Mobile friendly: Websites are so BORING NOW!!!!!
✖ Coming up with dislikes: I think I just wanted a place to rant about technology lol. Otherwise I find dwelling on what I dislike to be.... well, something I dislike doing. I'm going to post some blinkies now instead.

I've been drawing since I was able to get paint on my fingers, although admittedly my Toddler Era portfolio is not the greatest. I find that while my direct passion for the practice of creation waxes and wanes, I still manage to draw just about every day, and I don't think I could ever stop. I'm sort of rediscovering what I love about the process after a whole lot of burnout, but even when I'm at my most exhausted I still want to make stuff.

After much begging I got my first drawing tablet at age 11-ish, a terrible Genius Tablet that I used literally every day until my skills finally outgrew it. I was totally hooked on digital art after admiring so many artists online; I ended up getting a degree in "drawing and painting", but I consider digital art to be my native medium.

I spent many years working at tiny desks, kitchen counters, and on the floor, but I'm very happy to have a dedicated studio space now that I'm an adult with a full-time home. I primarily work on commissions, premade designs, and our ARPG, but I'm also developing comics and other ideas. This website itself is a sort of art project, huh?

You can see more of my art on most pages of this site. That's what it was originally for, after all.
